Dataset description

Dataset provided by Avocado provider for USA cities during 2015 year - 2018 year (3 months).It includes region name, date, prices and volume of sales. Also amount of sold small and large bags of avodacado per period.

Main goal of this work will be to check if there is some relation between amount of avocados sailed in different regions, months and year.

Visualisation 1

Which problems were solved by this visualisation?

Main goal of next visualisation was to introduce to user locations of observed cities and also give understanding which cities have higher or lower average prices. Also it shows amount of sailed avocados per city. And all of these could be compared by year.

Which another ways I could choose from?

Why this method?

Even we can`t see much difference between the years, this visualisation help us to recognise some differnce between cities and simultaneously compare price to sold amount. And there is no doubts that using map is intuitive and easy way to see locations of regions.

Visualisation 2

Which problems were solved by this visualisation?

The idea of next charts is to compare amount of Small and Large bags of Avocado sold in different regions through monthes and years.

Which another ways I could choose from?

Why this method?

This method is best to see the whole picture at a time, compare between regions and year time. It also gives oppurtunity to easily recognise some pattern through the year, could be useful for analytical predictions for Avocado marketers.

Pros & Cons

Visualisation 3

Which problems were solved by this visualisation?

Next visualisation can give visual understanding of consumption of Avocadoes per person in different regions due to month of the year. To have this value I devided population by the total amount of sold avocadoes for each region. As we have same sources of data for each region, those values should be proportionaly convinient.

Which another ways I could choose from?

Why this method?

This method is both usual and easy to understand, but also show some really important information (but not the location, for this we can use 1 Chart :). I decided not to sort regions by this value to make comparison between the months easier, so they don`t move.
